Maximilian Gosseau de Henef
Architect
Who is Maximilian Gosseau de Henef?
Maximilian Gosseau de Henef was an Austrian architect of Alsatian descent.
He designed Star fort Tvrđa in Osijek, in today's Croatia. Gosseau took over planning of the fort when construction was already under way. Unlike the many European builders of fortifications influenced by the noted French fortification builder Vauban, Gosseau had to tackle quite a few problems. He owed his renown to their solution which distinguished the Tvrđa as a specific ensemble from other fortifications of the time.
Gosseau de Henef died in 1741 and was buried in a village Nuštar in eastern Croatia, where he owned lands since 1717.
